VANCOUVER - Vancouver police are searching for three unidentified men who swiped a jewelled necklace and a pair of masks from Cirque Du Soleil Saturday night.

The men allegedly broke into a tent at about 3:30 a.m. And ran off with the necklace, a black mask with gold trim and an ape mask. The items, created for Cirque Du Soleil’s Totem production, have an estimated value of about $28,000.

“We are appealing to the public to help us get the stolen costumes back, because the show must go on,” says VPD spokesperson Sgt. Randy Fincham.

Anyone with information is asked to call 604-717-3321 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
